Is my older model Onkyo A/V receiver compatible with Dolby Atmos?

While the format is backward compatible, and therefore playable on legacy A/V receivers, you’ll need an A/V receiver with a Dolby Atmos DSP engine to experience the full multidimensional effects. Onkyo 2014 high-end A/V receivers, controllers, and HTiB packages were the first products in our line to feature Dual DSP Engines delivering the complete Dolby Atmos® effect.
